F0 all whom if; may concern Be it known that l, Liis'rnn E. liLLoN, acitizen ot' the United ltates, and a resident of Civil Bend Township, inthe county ot Union and State of South Dakota, have invented certain newand nse'tul improvements in Hairpins, or" which the following is aspecification.

My invention aims to provide an improved wire hair-pin, so constructedthat it may be readily inserted or withdrawn, yet is secured againstdisplacement when in the hair, The invention will be clearly understoodfrom the following` description, retorcnce being had to the accompanyingdrawing', which forms a part ot this application and which is anelevation of a hair-pin constructed in accordance with the invention.

Referring` to the illustration, the device consists oi a. U-shaped wire,preferably so formed that the portions, A, ot its arms adjacent the webare in parallelism. rlhe end portions of the arms are inclined towardeach other and in the direction of the eX- tremities ot the arms, as atB. The arms are then curved outwardly from each other, then toward eachother, as at C, the eXtreme end portions of the arms being bent to di-Seral No. 397,463.

Verve, as at D. The parts, D, serve as divergng guideingers whereby,when insorting` the pin in the hair, a maximum quantity ot hair isadmitted into the pin betT-Jeen the parts A and C. The bends, it will beobserved, :term contracted necks, which retain the hair in the pin andprevent its accidental displacement therefrom.
